Library Receives Low Vision Grant


Lions Club of ChelseaThe Chelsea District Library and the Chelsea Lions Club are teaming up to provide a new service to benefit individuals with poor eyesight in the community beginning in 2011. With the help of a $4,000 donation from the Lions Club, the library plans to install a low vision service center in its first floor lobby.

The project would consist of a glass case that would house low vision equipment including a variety of magnifiers ranging in power, which would then be available to library patrons to checkout and use free of charge. The equipment is lightweight and can be placed on top of a newspaper or book page allowing the user to slide the magnifier across the text.

The library is also planning a recognition ceremony for the Lions Club at a later date. Read more about the Low Vision Grant.
